Regulated actin polymerization is central to the changes in
A) shape of macrophages.
B) cell motility in amebae.
C) flagella movement in bacteria.
D) shape of macrophages and cell motility in amebae.
E) All the answers are correct.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Regulated actin polymerization is crucial for changes in the shape of macrophages and cell motility in amebae. Actin is a key component of the cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells, involved in various cellular processes including cell shape and movement. However, bacteria do not have actin; they have a different protein, FtsZ, involved in cell division, making option C incorrect.
